It's the second week of the Pizza Showdown and the judges (me included) are still hungry. By week eight or nine, who knows if we'll still have room.

Reader votes sent us to Pizza Joe's Italian Restaurant in Nazareth where they dished up a regular plain pizza pie and a Sicilian -- their specialty pie.

Here's our sneak preview, but we won't be spilling the beans just yet. Our full review will publish online and in the paper Wednesday. Check out lehighvalleylive.com/pizza-showdown for a photo gallery and video of our trip.

Joseph P. Owens: If you're talking Nazareth, you're talking pizza. And if you're talking pizza, you're talking Pizza Joe's. Nazareth is a very good pizza town. Plenty of pizza shops make a good pie, but Pizza Joe's rises near the top among locals. The Sicilian, which you'll read about next week, is legendary. And with a name like Joe, how can the place go wrong?

Kelly Huth: On this trip I got an education in Sicilian pie. I've been to Pizza Joe's a zillion times for their taco pizza, white pizza, grinders and house wine. But I never sampled their Sicilian before. Now I know what I'm getting next time.

Masked Muncher: There are certain institutions in Nazareth. The Andrettis. Stubborness. And Pizza Joe's. The place is a gold mine, and business is brisk for a reason. The Muncher is putting Pizza Joe's pie to the toughest test, though, letting it cool to newsroom temperature before dispatching a surgically precise critique. There's no hiding the imperfections in cold pizza. We'll see if it's the Real Joe.
